Description
Sweden....the land of reindeer, Värmländ Moose, Abba-pop music, IKEA, Spotify, unique Christmas traditions, Stockholm Syndrome & meatballs. Lastly & most importantly, Sweden is known for the Mid Century Modernist Scandinavian design aesthetic. This is a lovely souvenir dish/pin tray. It is silver plated & was made by Vera Ferngren sometime in the early 1960s in Stockholm, Sweden. The most outstanding feature of this piece however is the perfect Mid Century Modern design aesthetic. V.Ferngren is known creating designs that focus on utility rather than ornamentation. Clean simple lines are the hallmark of Scandinavian modernism & this unique souvenir dish/pin tray certainly embodies this aesthetic. It is also quite interesting with each city identified & the most compelling aspect of that location illustrated. The dish is in excellent (mint) condition with patina beautifully highlighting the illustrations. It measures 6.90"x3.5" & is hallmarked with V.Ferngren. The perfect gift for a Swedish friend, the lover of Scandinavian Mid Century Modernism or for someone who dreams of traveling to Sweden. It is beautiful to display on a modernist coffee table, it can be used to place your change, jewelry or Apple Watch in at the end of the day, & it can also be used as a fancy soap dish in your guest bathroom...lots of possibilities for this lovely silver pin dish/tray. Please review the photos carefully & email with any questions you may have prior to making a purchase.
